So, the Orico one has problems as well. Do these problems disappear when, instead of changing the way it's connected to the computer, you add this quirk? > Slowing down all RTL9120 already in the market with this quirk is in my > humble opinion not a realistic solutio. What else do you propose, for those of us who buy this hardware (€ 50, it wasn't a cheap one), connect it directly to a computer (through the vendor-provided cable, to an USB-C 3.2 Gen.2 connector, as in my case), and then experience 1-2 crashes per day under Linux?
